How to Save Money at Dr. Rhonda R. Masterson
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

I've never seen Rhonda R. Masterson their. Took my fur baby( Cat/Abe) there after some kids had beat him up. They put him in a kennel & said they would run ex-ray, told me they would call me as soon as they new something. Never received a call. Went up there next day when they opened. To sit with Abe. Comfort him & let him know I was still here for him. Abe was in a kennel "Not Clean"; Dry cat food in a bowl. No water. Had him hooked up to a IV. I would ask how is he doing. I was told it would take time. I would ask what was wrong with Abe, they say you will have to talk to the doctor but she's not in right now. I would stay from open to close, every day. Abe had been there since Saturday. On Thursday when I went in, one of the doctor's said if you can't get him to eat, he was going to die. I am asked again what was wrong with Abe ? We thing he has a broken jaw. "Tell me how dose a cat with a broken jaw eat dry cat food?" " THEY DO NOT " I ASK IF THEY WOULD PUT AS FEEDING TUBE IN FOR ME ? ANSWER WAS NO. I went home & called my regular Vet " Abfall Veterinary Clinic". They said they would call Masterson's have Abe released to me with his IV in so I could take him to "Abfall Veterinary Clinic." They said no problem... Ha ha. I go to pick Abe up. 1st before I could even see Abe I had to pay $320.00. Then they brought him out to me ( NO IV) nothing. I had blankets in his kennel. I drove with Abe In pain & crying all the way to almost Athens. Get there. They say where's his IV. They took it out. They took good care of Abe. He had a broken jaw & a hole up through his sinus cavity & pressure behind his eye. ( Abfall Veterinary Clinic is were I always go, because you can't trust Masterson Veterinary. Abfall Veterinary Clinic released the pressure behind his left eye. Wired his jaw shut & put in a feeding tube. After a day I took Abe home, for home care with lessons how too/how much to feed. It was going to take 6 weeks for this jaw to heal. Every week Abe went back to check-up & more food. Abe lived to be 35 years old, only because of Abfall Veterinary Clinic they get 6 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. THEY ARE EXTREMELY WISE EXCELLENT WITH ALL FUR BABIES

These are the most competent and reliable vets on the planet. They always make room for us in emergency situations. They call us back promptly when they are on call. We love every single person there as if they were family.
